Hope or Pray

Have you ever noticed what happens when you interchange those words?  Lately I have.  I have noticed I try to avoid saying hope now.  Why should I hope?  I can pray.  I know prayer works.  I have seen it in my life and others.  So instead of saying I hope you feel better, I hope things get better.  I try to remember to say I pray you feel better, I pray things get better.  Give it a try.
